[17] UPDATE

Update

Go to SettingsCheck updates. If a newer version exists, confirm it — the plugin downloads and swaps itself in place, without a permission prompt and without restarting TouchDesigner.

CHECK UPDATES AUTOMATICALLY ON TD START:

SettingsAuto update → Yes.

WHEN AN UPDATE ASKS FOR PERMISSION

Most updates only replace the plugin file in your user folder, so nothing is asked. The full installer opens (with one permission prompt — why?) in two cases:

  • the update also changes the small loader component that lives in the TD interface;
  • you are coming from an older twozero that predates the loader — the installer migrates you once, and later updates are prompt-free.

In both cases the flow is the same as a normal installation: the installer screen appears, you click GET STARTED.

IF AN UPDATE DIDN'T APPLY

SettingsReload plugin reloads the installed plugin from disk. Restarting TouchDesigner does the same. If the plugin is missing entirely, run the installation again — settings and your local folder are preserved.

A new TouchDesigner build always needs a fresh installation: the plugin is stored per TD build.
